Hazel is just lounging on Grandma's quilt.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

Hey Doug. I just switched off of Lexapro and have lost about 6 lbs over the last month. I knew it made me tired, but I just didn't realize how much until it wasn't there anymore. My doctor switched me to Trintillix, which does seem to be working for me. Heads up though, it's really expensive, but their website has several programs that can help. Hopefully I can afford to stay on this one 🤞.

I have noticed it gives me weird dreams --see my other comment in this thread 😂.

Ooh, I’ll ask about that one, thanks for the tip!

Also I don’t have dreams/I tend to just black out and wake up (though I’m sure I dream and just don’t remember them, I seem to really not remember them; supposedly related to my alexithmya), so I’ll take any dreams over none.
